Desexing

Desexing (spaying or neutering) is one of the most important steps in responsible pet ownership. At Gundaroo Veterinary Centre, we offer safe and compassionate desexing procedures for dogs, cats, rabbits, and small pets, using modern anaesthesia, expert surgical care, and personalised aftercare.

Whether you’re booking your new puppy or kitten, or need to desex an adult pet, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Why Desex Your Pet?

Desexing helps prevent:

  • Unwanted litters

  • Hormone-driven behaviours (e.g. roaming, mounting, aggression)

  • Life-threatening conditions like pyometra (uterine infection) and testicular cancer

  • Certain cancers, reproductive issues, and prostate problems

  • Heat cycles in females, which can be stressful for you and your pet

It also helps reduce the number of stray and unwanted animals in the community.

What’s included in our Desexing Packages?

    • Full physical health check before surgery

    • Pre-anaesthetic blood testing (optional but recommended)

    • Safe, modern general anaesthesia and monitoring

    • Pain relief medications during and after surgery

    • Surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus (females) or testicles (males)

    • Removal of baby (deciduous) teeth if present

    • A personalised at-home care plan

    • Advice on diet, training, and behaviour from our experienced nurses

    • 3 and 14-day post-operative checks to ensure smooth recovery
